We are quickly approaching our Boosterthon Fun Run, which is this Friday! Thank you for all of those that have donated. We will have several challenges this week. Please spread the word with your family and on social media. Tonight's challenge is: Get a donation tonight, earn a PJ day at school!

Also, the first teacher to get 100% of their students registered will win a $15 gift card.

GCB Families, I am passing along information from Central Hardin's FBLA club:

Central Hardin FBLA is excited to host a Princess and Superheroes Night at Bruin Academy on October 25th, 2026, from 3 PM to 6 PM. It's going to be a fun-filled evening where staff and volunteers will be dressed up to create magical memories for the kids!

I’ve attached a flyer for the event, along with an optional RSVP link to help us get a rough headcount—no RSVP is required to attend, but it does help us prepare.

Thank you so much for supporting this special event and helping us create unforgettable moments for our students!

welcome preschool
Tomorrow is the 1st day of preschool for our 5 and 2 day students. Car riders for preschool need to be dropped off in the front of the building by the preschool classrooms.

For our bus riders, families will receive an email today telling them about their bus information and the time of pick-up. There will be no phone calls from the bus drivers.

If you do not get an email or you believe your information is incorrect in their email, call the bus garage. The number is 270-769-2400.

Finally, a reminder that we are hand-to-hand so someone will need to be with the child at the bus stop. Also ask them to have their identification ready for the bus driver.

All students will have access to free breakfast and free lunch again this school year. However, each family is still required to complete a Household Income Form to maintain accurate data as a requirement for state and federal funding. You can find the form at this link: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application

Free lunches are provided through a program called the Community Elgibility Provision (CEP). The continuation of CEP is dependendent on the number of school meals served. We encourage all students to participate in school lunch and school breakfast as much as possible!
